A 29 year old woman is in custody after an encounter with Saskatoon police where a taser was used. Police were called to a home in the 100 block of La Ronge Road around 1:30 this morning (tues) by provincial correctional officers who were trying to take a woman into custody. The woman had barricaded herself in her bedroom, broken a window, and armed herself with a dagger-shaped shard of glass. She then climbed out through the window and onto a first-storey roof. Police say she jumped off, trying to escape. When she landed, police say she threatened to hurt herself with the glass shard. That s when police used the conducted energy weapon to disarm her. The woman was taken to hospital to be treated for injury that was related to her jump from the roof. The CEW deployment will be reviewed as per police policy.

Have Your Say

When you receive your carbon tax rebate by direct deposit have you ever not known where it came from, regardless of how it was identified on your statement?

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.

Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.

The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.

T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
